   Winston School Room is situated just off the B1077 to Debenham on the lane which leads to Winston Church.  The postcode is IP14 6NG.   The car park is next to the school room (a grassy area immediately past the school room) and as there is limited outside lighting, a torch is advised.

 

Wanted:

Photographs! Surely everyone has been out in the snowy weather taking photographs of their gardens, snowmen, children playing, icy roads, snowy landscapes, etc? If you have some good photos please send them to me for publication on the PPC website – send your photos to: dimmocks101@btinternet.com

Your votes for faster broadband! The East Anglia Daily Times recently publicised a campaign to promote the needs of Suffolk Broadband users for a faster service:

“A campaign has been launched to bring faster broadband to Suffolk amid fears the county is being left behind in the digital revolution. While some areas of the UK are now starting to enjoy super-fast connections of up to 40Mb/s, there are many parts of Suffolk which are unable to access the government recommended minimum of 2Mb/s.

Telecoms giant BT aims to supply super-fast broadband to 40 per cent of UK homes by 2012. But Suffolk's residents are not yet among them. Campaigners are now appealing to the public and businesses to vote urgently online for Suffolk to receive a broadband grant after concerns the county could become a “watchword for inequality” and suffer economically.”

You can follow these links to read the full EADT article, or go to the Suffolk County Council site to read about their role in the campaign. But the most important thing you can do is to register your vote for faster broadband, and why you need it (in the home, at work, at school, etc) by going to the online survey. Please do this – we need faster broadband in Pettaugh and every vote counts!
